A saintly, impressive figure claims to be God, the creator of mankind. He offers Koenig and his companions a new Earth, a new Eden, where life can begin again. But who is he really? What are the fantastic powers he possesses? ITC summary

Originally the SFX crew intended to use stop motion for the cave animals, but time and expense forced them to use the small lizards (they have green and yellow mottling with black stripes on their back).

Errors

New Adam, New Eve

When the stun gun magically transports from Koenig to Magus, a bare arm is briefly seen moving out of frame, having placed the gun in Magus's palm. This is cut from the Network 2015 Blu-ray release, but appeared on all previous releases.
Another change made in the restoration (more minor and less objectionable) is the addition of Tony's laser beam in the caves (see observations)

New Adam, New Eve

After his gun disappears, Koenig looks at his empty hand and lowers his arm. When the gun reappears, he is posed precisely the same as when the gun disappeared. Thanks to Martin Daoust.
